Short Description of Activity

Forty Broads from around Oregon attended the Jordan Cove Broadwalk near Coos Bay, Oregon. We hiked, heard talks from local activists, land owners, scientists about the potential harmful effects of proposed LNG Jordan Cove pipeline. We pulled Scotch Broom from the Oregon Dunes National Monument with USFS and BLM personnel. We had field trip to site where pipeline would enter harbor. We wrote letters to officials.

We cleared Scotch Broom from the Siuslaw Forest. We wrote letters and postcards to various people.
Reflect and Evaluate To educate our Willamette Valley Broadbands to the issues surrounding the purposed Jordan Cove Pipeline.That goal was accomplished! We had impressive speakers. We also did a satisfying job of clearing Scotch Broom from the forest. This activity report is for the 14 Willamette Valley Broadband.

Reflection/Evaluation

Well organized. Lots of good info. People really got fired up. Tried hard to give free time, which everyone liked.
